Instructions:

Prepare the Tomatoes: Gently slice the green tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle salt over the tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with ice cubes and let it stand for 2 hours. This will help the tomatoes become crisp and cold.
-
Add Onions: After 2 hours, add thinly sliced onions to the bowl with the tomatoes. The onions will add a delightful crunch and flavor to the pickles.
-
Prepare the Pickling Solution: In a large pot, combine the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, mustard seeds, and turmeric. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to boil for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the pickling solution has boiled for 10 minutes, add the tomatoes and onions to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boiling point, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
-
Pack in Jars: Carefully pack the pickled tomatoes and onions into clean, sterilized pint jars. Ensure the jars are tightly packed to maximize the amount of pickles in each jar.
-
Process in Water Bath: Place the filled jars in a boiling water bath, ensuring they are completely submerged. Process the jars in the water bath for 30 minutes to seal them properly and preserve the pickles.
-
Cool and Store: Once processed, remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, store the pickles in a cool, dark place for optimal flavor.
These delicious Green Tomato Pickles are ready to enjoy! Serve them as a tasty snack, add them to sandwiches, or share them with friends and family. Enjoy the tangy, sweet flavor of these homemade pickles any time of the year.
